Quote of the Day

I heard in the past few days that the Palestinians are saying that the Kotel, the Western Wall, is occupied territory. I want to say to them in the place that is closest to the miracle of the oil flask: the Kotel has been ours for 3000 years, and it and the State of Israel will remain with us forever...

  -- PM Benjamin Netanyahu, after lighting the menora (aka "Chanukiya" here in Israel at the Kotel on the last night of Hannukah
